Microsoft is back with even more Xbox controller options today, as the team expands its Design Lab program into 'Vapor' territory. Remember last year's 'Stormcloud Vapor' pad? Well, you can now apply the very same effect to Xbox Design Lab controllers across a variety of different colours.
They're calling this one the 'Vapor Collection' and it's available now within the Xbox Design Lab suite. As a taster, Microsoft has dreamt up a number of Vapor options using Design Lab - we'll drop these examples down below.
Speaking of dreaming things up - the Xbox team has actually fully designed its own new Vapor pad that'll be sold outside of Design Lab as well. Named 'Dream Vapor', this pink and purple swirl-effect controller is the team's latest unique design.
For now, these new designs are only available on the standard Xbox Series X|S pad - they aren't applicable to the Elite Series 2 controller through Design Lab. Also, while that 'Dream Vapor' colour scheme is selectable right within Design Lab itself, Microsoft's version includes an exclusive Xbox Series X|S dynamic background to match the controller.
Lastly, the Xbox Gear Shop is celebrating the occasion by adding a range of new hoodies based on the whole 'Vapor' design scheme. It's probably worth checking locally to see if these are available to you, but we're seeing them here in the UK in various different colours.
